Pouches Just Finished

[absaroka]

One of my favorite ways to relax is making these pouches.  All have an internal hanging pocket.  The bottom three have bottom gussets and were dyed with a vinegar and iron brew.

Those are some nice looking bags.. What type of leather are you using. This might be a stupid question. What is iron brew?

[absaroka]

I use 2 to 3 ounce vegetable tanned tooling leather.  The dye is made by putting old nails, barb wire, etc. (anything that will rust) in a container of cider vinegar.  After a week or so, it can be applied and the leather will turn a nice dark gray/black.  The smell will go away after time.  I put a coat of extra virgin olive oil on as a final finish.

I like that top one best, too.  They all look great, but I really like the color on the top one.  Very nice work!!

Same here, it's just the "right" color.
